Q: Know what else Tuesday’s new moon phase triggers?
A: Date nights for your feline friends!

What to do? Toledo native Twila Collins heads up Cat’s Meow SNAP! of Lewis County, a low cost spay/neuter project to humanely reduce feline overpopulation (free for feral cats). They facilitate an average 1,000 spays/neuters per year for residents of Lewis, Thurston, Cowlitz and Grays Harbor counties.
By the way, you can get kitty microchipped too.
